Shaq Fu 2: The Internet’s Hilarious Reaction to the Announcement "God Help Us All"

Last week, Shaquille O’Neal revealed that Shaq Fu 2 is in the works in an interview with GamerFitNation at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Since then, news of the sequel to the 1994 title has spread like wildfire through the Internet. The reactions range from joy to disbelief, as some consider the original Shaq Fu to be among the worst games ever made, while a few genuinely enjoyed the game.

Fans posted about their excitement on numerous outlets:

[BLACKBIBLE]

These tweets and comments are funny!

[Xsilver]

http://nooooooooooooooo.com... why do we let this happen.

[MestreRothN4G]

What the fu!

[BLACKBIBLE]

Yup Shaq Fu 2 is coming... unfortunately... Lol

[hankmoody]

Shaq Fu was better than Skyrim, at least.... said no one ever.

[LOGICWINS]

If this game has Dennis Rodman as a boss and he sings Happy Birthday as a finishing move...automatic GOTY, maybe GOTG.

[Slade23]

LMAO. you get a damn bubble for that.

[raWfodog]

Maybe it'll be good since it'll be 1080p, 60fps :)

[air1]

Lol...

[truefan1]

I never even saw your comment, that's mad funny.

[Oldman100]

1080p support will be offered in a Day 1 Icy Hot patch.

[zippycup]

i thought this was a joke its actualy real and yes i played the original

preorder bonus free copy of original shaq fu and digital copy of kazam

[vgcgames]

Whaat! Shaq Fu is the Business.. Kazam digital copy, in HD no doubt! Pre-Ordering mine today.

[TheEnigma313]

lol Believe it or not, me ad my friends played this game a lot. It was pretty bad though; it was fun at the time though. I could have been a solid fighting game minus Shaq.

[CorndogBurglar]

Because this is exactly what the world needs.

[KillrateOmega]

This is the game we deserve, but not the one we need right now.

[Hicken]

Wait, so it's NOT joke? Oh, lord...

[mydyingparadiselost]

I hope it's just the original game with micro transactions for HD textures.

[DoctorJones]

Shaq Fu 2:The Crapness Reawakened.

I can't believe they are entertaining the thought of another.

Do we need another? Can we take another? Who bought it first time around?

These questions need answering, then we need to use torture methods to ensure it doesn't happen. My kids are just old enough for me to relay how bad the first game was.

Don't make me have to live through this torment if a third game arrives.

[jamz4]

I wouldn't swear like that in front of my kid, so irresponsible...

[DoctorJones]

What? Crap?

I don't even count that as a swear word. You should have heard the profanity coming out of my wifes mouth when they were born. I thought I was watching The Exorcist

They are wrapped in cotton wool now and never see any evil parts of the world we live in.

[jamz4]

Well then I hope you don't still own the first Shaq Fu

[DoctorJones]

Do you think I'm a masochist? I never owned it in the first place. Any copy on the planet needs to be burned with fire. We should have Shaq Fu burning parties sponsored by our equivalent governments, with rewards based on copies neutralized.

[ion666]

I thought it was april. Then i turned the calender page........JANUARY!!!!

[contradictory]

ahh yes, Shaq Fu..
the game that could be categorized in with such classic titles as:

"Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City"

"Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing"

"Hulk Hogan's Main Event"

and

"Bubsy 3D: Furbitten Planet"

[SpiralTear]

I'm still not entirely convinced that it's actually happening. Shaq didn't look all that enthusiastic in that interview, so he could've just been rambling to get the interviewer on his feet.

If it does get made and released, I'll play it. Why not? It's a sequel to Shaq Fu. That's like a 3D reboot of Plan 9 From Outer Space. It's a hypnotically bad idea.

Seeing everyone's reactions to the interview on Twitter was pretty funny though.

[Eonjay]

How many players does the online support?

[KillrateOmega]

1 v. 1, but don't worry, there will be loads of bots.

[Sarobi]

1 and a half players. If you buy the Charles Barkley DLC it may add another player.

[JohnnyTower]

Get the UN on the phone. This is a crime against humanity.

[Master of Unlocking]

Quite simply the worst fighting game ever made. Rise of the robots, way of the warrior, or street fighter II the game-based-on-a-movie-based-on -a-game were gems compared to that gutter trash. But eh, who cares about the quality of the product, right? It's all about the green paper I guess.

[MRMagoo123]

I cant imagine there will be much "green paper" around this game lol more like debt notices and court orders for crimes about man kind. The devs may be put away for a long time if this game comes to be.

[Rayansaki]

It's like Skyrim with Shaquilles.
